Mónica Naranjo: "What surprises me the most about young couples is their need to agree on the type of relationship they are going to have"

Despite the fact that 'hate' is currently a taboo verb, today I am not going to stay with the desire: I hate 15-minute interviews.

All journalists have had to do them at some time - because of misery - because that is what the film, television and music industry has imposed for a long time: I'll give you an interview with Fulanita, it's 15 minutes, if you don't like it, ' bye bye Fraulein '.

An aberration of volume and spine because the interviewee answers the same questions over and over again throughout the day, to all journalists.

From the point of view of the celebrity it must be a lethal boredom;

from that of the journalist it is a colossal frustration;

And for the reader or viewer of the interview, believe me: it's more of the same over and over again.

In 15 minutes there is no time to even warm up with the interviewee.

Total, I have to do a 15-minute interview with

because she is the

host of

the new Netflix reality show

(pay attention to the skillful play on words: trust-with bail). And someone will ask: why do you accept that 15-minute interview with what little you like? Well because I didn't know. I should have guessed, okay. But to know, I didn't know, I swear. And now is what it is. And I feel like

suddenly warned that he has 5 minutes (me 15, ok) to interview

on 'Notting Hill'. He for 'Horse and Hound', I, for I DONATE.

How did they trick you into doing this reality show? Love it. I accepted the first time. What's so sexy? On the one hand, it has been nice to work with six couples who had never been on television before, and even less in a reality show. In addition, each couple has their story and they are all very interesting. Within six days of being there, everyone has had to submit to a high-tech lie detector. There were many couples who came thinking that their relationship was perfect, but after going through the machine they realize that all that glitters is not gold.

Basically what the machine reveals to the participants is everything that their partners have been lying to them since they have been together. And those people, all young and beautiful, with that slurred speech that has prevailed today in wide sectors of generation Z, will take disgust after disgust, they will cry their eyes out, they will break up forever, they will reconcile, and they will satisfy the need we have. Realitis viewers of perceiving that we are not the only ones who are having a bad time in life. That there are even people who are doing worse and on top of that, all of Spain sees it. If to this we add a truth machine (by God, how I miss

from

mythical 'Truth Machine'

that brings out the darkest part of your relationship afloat, honey on flakes .

But you, Monica, would you submit to that truth machine? Yes, I actually did. And did you get caught by any lies?

The series was shot on an

- "I'm sorry, but we can't reveal which island it is" - which was also "idyllic, wonderful, to get lost".

The choice of the place where you place the contestants is key, explains Mónica Naranjo, "because if you pamper them a lot and place them in a paradisiacal place, when things happen they feel more protected."

Of course, it is not the same to be upset in Estebanvela, Segovia, than in the Seychelles, I understand that perfectly.

Why does the intimate life of couples continue to fascinate us so much? What happens to us with that topic? Let's see, I am fascinated by the world of the couple from a psychological point of view. But in the end, reality shows are entertainment and people get hooked on them because suddenly you see a parallel with your life, or with your relationship, or simply because you like a character or the situation makes you funny. In the end you empathize. One of the conclusions drawn from 'Amor con bail' is that fidelity continues to be for young couples the fundamental thermometer of the quality of their relationship. At first, fidelity is truly the Achilles heel of all of them, the toxicity that is generated comes a little from there.But as the weeks go by, the contestants realize that there are things that are even more important than that. Are you telling me that there is a ray of hope? There is always, always a ray of hope. first chapter is like apocalyptic. Yes it is. Let's see, it is a type of format where you never expect what is going to happen. Obviously we have agreed on the program based on scripts, but as it progresses we decide to change things. Suddenly it seems to you, in the first chapter, that they are all going to end up as hell, but then it turns out that they are not. Much more interesting things happen on the show than seeing people yelling at each other. Here's a nice and intense story.Is that the staging of the first chapter is like apocalyptic. Yes it is.

When Mónica Naranjo enters the scene for the first time with a spectacular jumpsuit and heels, everyone's jaws drop and an "ooooh, Mónica" sounds almost in unison. Someone whispers: "She's a diva" ...

Does being called a 'diva' have any effect on you at this point? It feels? (I have never been called a diva ...) I created a character for the music that was Mónica Naranjo, a character with a lot of divism, but in my day to day or as a presenter that aura is not there, but one thing It is what you feel and another is what people feel. You walk into a store and the shopkeeper probably sees the diva Mónica Naranjo come in. You'd be surprised to see me on the street! If you see me Because I'm so camouflaged and so normal that people don't notice me. One thing is that you see me sitting here, fully produced, with the sheet metal and paint, as I say, and another is that you see me just got up, that I put on my sneakers, my wide and comfortable clothes, and I go to the mountains with the dogs. That is what i like the most.My professional life is very far from my personal life. There is much talk today about the disappearance of the model of romantic love. By doing this program, does one realize that something important has really changed in romantic relationships? There is one thing that has surprised me since we did the program 'Monica and sex'. And it is commitment. And it makes me very sad. Because for me, commitment is something that you don't have to talk about in a couple, I take it for granted. The moment you decide to have a relationship, to go one step further, you do not agree to the terms of that commitment. But now yes. Now we talk about it. It is not taken for granted. No, now it is like "we are going to talk about it and we are going to agree to have an open relationship, or have our comings and goings, or bring in a third party ...I am still very classic with my thing, I continue to live love to the fullest, I give everything, I like that wonderful love that makes you feel comforted as soon as you see your partner enter the door, a relationship where of course there is no talk of commitment, because it is taken for granted. Has your relationship with the reality show participants also been intense? Does one end up being involved in some way in their stories? You end up loving and understanding them all. I mean, you wouldn't have agitated any of them like, "Come on, man, react" ... I made. But still, I love him. They are good people. And we all make mistakes. In a couple, in the end, the only people who know exactly what happens are their members. Third parties have no idea, nor can we give an opinion or get involved in anything. We can simply observe and support,nothing more. But not to one, to both. And where is the music, Monica? I'm still on tour with 'Puro Minage' (piano recital celebrating the 20th anniversary of his album 'Minage'), record release on November 4 and next year we will have a new album. This 2021, despite the stops, has been very good because we have not stopped. And my motto is "don't stop", because life is movement.

Time is over.
